Nightmare Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) It would be incredibly amateur to have announced the signing, complete with interview about him being ready to play this week, if we weren’t confident of the “international clearance” obstacle being hurdled. Incredibly amateur... Partick Thistle... hmm. We’ll see. Edited August 22, 2018 by Nightmare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He's probably heard from the current manager how winning is not really necessary. I think he was referring to Scotland as a whole as opposed to Thistle in particular - but I guess he might be comparing it to any treatment dished out to him in Egypt ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their original action was to clear our bank debt, and since then they’ve been funding the youth academy to the tune of roughly £750k a year (apparently). It's actually been £200k/£250k on a per year basis. The funding announcements have generally covered several years at a time. 1 hour ago, KelvindaleJag said: It seems to have slipped under the radar here that the post of Lead Physiotherapist is being advertised, without any of the usual niceties over the previous incumbent (contributed to the club's progress, best wishes for the future, etc.).

We didn't put any niceties in our job advert for development squad physio when both Ryan Wilkie and Ross Anderson left. Or when we changed Commercial Manager last summer. Or in the advert for Chief Exec(although obviously there was the stand alone announcement due to the nature of where Ian Maxwell was headed and the SFA were unveiling him). The current advert for a Lead Physiotherapist is as the result of the current incumbant handing in his notice having been offered a better paying job. The line "subject to international clearance/subject to SFA approval" is a standard in every signing we've made this summer, and over the last few I imagine without going back. It's pretty standard - for example when we signed Mutombo we could not have received clearance due to his previous Club going bust and it potentially being tough to find officials from that Club to verify documentation.

Slacker Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Of course it's a standard line but because of the unusual circumstances surrounding Coulibaly I think a further explanation would've been appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You continue believing the only reason you've got him is desire from the club and good fortune, while ignoring the reason both Hearts and Aberdeen have pulled out of deals for him over the past twelve months. You'll either find he gets refused clearance, or the Weirs have finally shown how far they'll go to subsidise your club.

No one is claiming the club are obliged to tell us anything. I doubt your employer announce you've signed a contract on their website with a photo of you in your work gear telling everyone how long your contract is for so I'm not sure what relevance comparing your standard employee to a football player has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednyella Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 https://www.kingfut.com/2017/06/06/coulibaly-interview-depart-ahly/ Interesting read of the situation through Souley's eyes at his Egyptian club. Seems he had several issues with the club not least his family's challenges there. I'm excited to see who else comes in now till the close of the window. A CB/RB and a defensive minded CM with some experience and two big mouths on them would be fantastic but let's wait and see. What a time to be a jags fan! ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggymct Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 https://www.kingfut.com/2018/08/22/souleymane-coulibaly-penalty-scottish-fa/ This would suggest that his old club are still going to pursue the fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
